Part III. Parenting Styles

Instructions: Put a check on a box that corresponds to your parenting style.

Authoritative Parenting Style

Authoritarian Parenting Style

Permissive Parenting Style

 Authoritative Parenting Style- In this parenting approach, parents are

caring, receptive, and supportive but also establish strict boundaries for
their children. They try to discipline kids by outlining rules, having
discussions, and using logic. They consider a child's perspective but do
not always agree with it.
 Authoritarian Parenting Style- Parenting in this style is very strict.
Parents want their children to adhere to the rules without question or
compromise.
 Permissive Parenting Style- This parenting approach incorporates a lot
of parental warmth and affection, but it also lacks boundaries,
expectations, and rules. Children frequently perceive these parents as
friends rather than superiors.
